I don't blame them one bit because keeping up with C++ and
learning C++
Core Guidelines is a tremendous task:
https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md
I keep starting writing replies here about C++ Core Guidelines
but I
delete them after counting to ten. Not this time... :)
I think it's a psychological phenomenon worthy of scientific
interest
how a craft with so many guidelines can still be accepted. I
am baffled
how otherwise wonderful and smart people can direct others to
that
document with a straight face, let alone market it as one of
the
greatest gifts to C++ programmers (cf. CppCon 2015 keynotes by
Herb
Sutter and Bjarne Stroustrup.)

I had Chrome estimate how many pages it would be print out. In
"Letter" size it's 181 double-sided pages. It's not
"Guidelines" it is a book on "Best Practices"
Bjarne, Herb and others are quite aware that the only way to
actually know the guidelines is via static code analyzers, like
clang tidy and VC++ checkers.
And lets be a bit honest here, if someone took the effort of
writing the D Core Guidelines, including warnings about half done
features and differences between compilers, how many pages would
it be?
Maybe not 181, but I can easily imagine it getting around 100.
